dshoup00 0 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I have the first gen Shield TV. I tried both versions of Emby server(Stable and Beta). My library consists of .strm files which pass files stored on the internet through my server to the client(Usually Firestick 4k or my phone). I tried using the emby server over Wifi and over ethernet. Neither work well. The movies are constantly pausing for extended periods of time before resuming. The video source downloads/streams at 100 megabytes per second so that isn't the issue. I have an Intel NUC that I was using before and this worked perfectly on that. My internet is 300/300. I was able to stream multiple 75gb blurays at a time using the NUC as the server. I can't even stream one 2gb movie on my nvidia shield TV. Any ideas why I am having so many issues with the Nvidia Shield TV as my server instead? Thanks in advance!

Luke 37022 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 HI there, can we please look at an example? Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshoup00 0 Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) Thanks for responding so quickly. I'll attach the logs shortly. And I also forgot to mention that I turned off all types of transcoding for the specific user so it's direct play/stream. For both cases.

Luke 37022 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Hi, have you tried adding the files directly to a library without using strm files, just to see how that compares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshoup00 0 Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) Just tried what you suggested. Works just fine. But I don't have all the media locally. That's why I use strms. And it worked perfectly on my nuc. Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk Edited March 19, 2020 by dshoup00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshoup00 0 Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 I know your busy with all the other threads but do you have any ideas? @@Luke Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37022 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 have you tried lowering the in-app quality setting so that the server will transcode it to a lower bitrate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshoup00 0 Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 I turned off transcoding. Only directplay or directstream is allowed. Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37022 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I'm not really sure what to say them because lagging playback is almost always a sign that the bitrate is too high for the connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshoup00 0 Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 I'll try reinstalling to see if that helps. Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37022 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 What exactly did you try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshoup00 0 Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 I tried reinstalling the beta version. Tried testing the strm files but I'm still running into the same issue where it will play for a couple seconds then pause for a while then continue playing and pause again etc. Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37022 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Can you try lowering the in-app quality setting so that the server will transcode it to a lower bitrate? That will solve most pausing, stuttering issues, etc. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
